When completing the Learning Agreement, which must be signed by the Faculty of Medicine, please make sure you enter the following information:

During your stay abroad

You will need to obtain certification that you have completed your practical training over a period of 16 weeks in the appropriate department. To do this, please use the template provided by the State Examination Board of Rhineland-Palatinate (LPA). The tertial certificate is required both for payment of your ERASMUS grant and for recognition of your tertial by the State Examination Board. Other documents cannot be accepted.

 

After your stay abroad

In order to issue the C3 document for your ERASMUS funding, we will require the following documents:

  • Certificate of equivalence
  • Tertial certificate

Please be sure to send us the correct C3 document. Even though when studying medicine in Germany no ECTS credits are actually awarded, ERASMUS guidelines require them to be shown on the document. To find the correct C3 document, proceed as detailed on the following site: www.eu-servicepoint.de/nachher/ -> The recognition by the faculty -> ECTS credits.

Assistance in completing documents:

  • For a full tertial 30 ECTS credits are awarded, and for a half tertial 15 ECTS credits.
  • Signatory: Dr. Arnold-Fabian
